of the old Print Craft building for four additional parking stalls because of this mediation. Since this is a public hearing, property owners within 350 feet were notified. PA19 Motion by O’Brien, seconded by Livingston, TO CONTINUE THE UBLIC HEARING UNTIL THE UGUST PC. 5 Ayes - 0 Nays. Motion Carried. LANNING OMMISSION MEETING General Business - None Announcements and Updates Concept Review NuTec Corporation Mattila briefly outlined the concept for a 12,000 square foot office building proposed for Cleveland Avenue SE and County Road D. Mattila said the proposal would involve a minor subdivision to separate the proposed building site from the Ken’s Market site. Access to the office building would be from Cleveland Avenue and also from County Road D. Mattila stated the applicant was looking for comments from the Planning Commission and is anticipating applying in August. Zisla said the 33 existing parking places for Ken’s Market and the 56 proposed spaces for Tec Pro makes 89 parking spaces. Is that the minimum required by the ordinance? Mattila responded the number of spaces only exceeded the ordinance by one or two spaces. Zisla asked if the City requires 33 parking spaces for Ken’s Market. Mattila said he believed so. Mattila said the parking requirement reflected the coffee shop next door to Ken’s Market and Ken’s Market. Livingston asked about the setback requirement. Mattila answered the side yard setback requirement of 25 feet and 30 feet is for parking and the building respectively. Zisla asked about the City Attorney’s comments on the minor subdivision mentioned in Mattila’s memo. The City Attorney said that if the lot were divided, there would be no opportunity to move the parking from the front of Ken’s Market to the back. Mattila responded the City Attorney feels that, if the property were subdivided as proposed, any opportunity to bring the nonconforming parking area in front of Ken’s Market into compliance would be eliminated. Zisla asked if there were any reason to think that parking would ever be moved to the back of the building unless the entire site is redeveloped. Mattila answered that the applicant has raised this issue. Economically speaking, it would put a hardship on Ken’s Market if the parking were moved behind the building. Zisla asked if the proposed plan would create a problem for future redevelopment on the site. Mattila stated that, if the area on the plan in yellow were developed by taking the existing building down, the buildable area on that site would be constricted. The 30- foot setback line on County Road D and Cleveland, would not leave much area for a building. Baker asked about the setback requirements for the Ken’s Market site. Mattila answered 30 feet is the required setback. The rear parking setback is 5 feet from the property line. Baker commented that, if Ken’s Market were no longer on the site, the site would be practically unbuildable. Livingston asked if the outlot were part of the freeway entrance. Mattila stated the outlot was a long strip of land that is 38 feet wide and is owned by the apartment buildings further down on Cleveland Avenue. The applicant has contacted the owner of that strip several times in an attempt to purchase that property, but the price has been too high. The applicant is proposing the arrangement on the plan instead of including that property. Zisla asked what use could this 38-foot strip of land be put. Mattila responded the strip is zoned R- 1, Single Family Residential. It is an unbuildable parcel. 2 I:\COMMISSIONS\PLANNING\MINUTES\1997\07-15-97.WPD
